Here's some new content. Thanks Gav! I bake these cakes with love. Except they're not cakes. Because if they were cakes, they would be lies. Nope, CHTrilogy- Homestuck was merely an inspiration for some of these comics.

You portray Gerliky's character so well. And like I told Kahi, good vocab makes a good comic. I love it! And Gerk is definitely talking to me.

Hah, thanks you guys! Didn't think this topic would pick up steam this quickly. Although I am sadly announcing that there will only be one comic a week from now. I can't put 2 comics up a week, or I'll keep on exhausting my supply and having to keep on going on hiatus! And if I go on hiatus now, I may never kickstart again... Also, funfact: I deliberately trawled through Google Images to get that laptop in the comic because it was the laptop I had. However, I just realised that that comic was no longer topical - I have an entirely different laptop now!

The Gurk comic was hilarious. I don't know him very well but it seemed quite appropriate.Once a week is fine by me, since you've got quite the high level of graphic quality going into these.

Yeah, I try to put a high level of graphical quality into these. Sort of a crossbreed between Kahi's and Ennar's. (speaking of which, where is he anyways?)(also shh gavla + janabro pretend you haven't seen these yet its all supposed to be a SUSPRIIISE)

Wow, Tapika, I enjoyed reading that comic, which by the way is most definitely brand new, for the very first time.Yeah, that's definitely Gerlicky. He's kind of blunt. I did do quite enjoy the "seething with the angries" line.

Exactly what I was thinking. Either that or some horrible fake kit.And props on the Gerlicky 1.08 joke. Considering he invented 3- and 6-shading, I always laugh when I remember he uses black outline.J-K out.

Advertisment is key to keeping the buisness going round. That said - Can you mirror my tactic, please? With delicious in-canon advertisment please? Also yeah it is kind of strange how he uses Bishade when he invented Hexashade. He always says it's a hassle though. I guess.

It's like if Thomas Edison used whale oil lamps instead of the lightbulb. I lol'd at the first comic. Especially the whiteboard with the perks of ICC-ness.And I agree with Shad about the mystery kit.

You guys are aware that more shades doesn't automatically make a kit better, right? Chimoru is a very flawed kit no matter what; having six shades just makes it shinier and harder to recolor. Gurky was clearly going for a simplistic visual style with Spoofquest, so I really don't see what's so strange about him using bishade.

Seems my post that was dripping with compliments was deleted. Shame. Since I didn't back it up all I can say is that I agree with Lime Paradox. That said, I have my assumptions, but in the greater intrests of this community I shall not reveal them.Anyways, this comic has gained an extra level of hilarity for me since its topicality has been brought into question. I made this comic in April, when Portal 2 was released. April. It's now November, and only a few days away from Sonic Generation's UK release. I suppose I could have edited it to show that, but that could have been a bit of a cop out, seeing as the game isn't out yet here.Plus it goes against my mantra, and that mantra is to always fix issues with a comic in a way that requires the least amount of effort.
